Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar backs Pawan Kalyan over comments on secularism

Hyderabad: Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Tuesday came out strongly in support of Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, who said secularism cannot be a one-way road but a two-way path which has to accommodate all faiths.

In a post on ‘X’, Sanjay Kumar, Union Minister of State for Home, said he completely stands by Kalyan.

“Powerful words from Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Shri @PawanKalyan garu and completely stand by him,” he said.

Kalyan’s comment, ‘If anyone tries to mess with Sanatana Dharma, we all Hindus will rightfully voice out. Secularism is a two-way street. If you expect us to take the beating while others are pampered, that’s not going to happen. We won’t be silent punching bags,’ has garnered significant attention.
